Rolinha Kross

Rolinha Kross is one of the leading Dutch singers of Yiddish songs. She performed at all important Dutch stages, with her own groups and as a guest star in several theatre shows, for example with national stars as Ramses Shaffy and Willem Nijholt.

Rolinha and I play, as a duo, all well known and lesser known Yiddish songs and we give work shops. We have a special program with Willy Brill, expert in the Yiddish language and translator of Yiddish literature to Dutch. In this program, ‘Yiddish poetry, in words and songs’, we present beautiful Yiddish poems, with translations, music and background information. These are very inspiring sessions, also for people who are not familiar with the Yiddish language.
